Executive Summary
Traffic safety is a top priority for the City of Carlsbad. To address speeding concerns on residential streets, the city developed the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program.
The program is designed to address speeding concerns on residential streets through a variety of traffic calming tools.
Staff have collaborated with residents on Park Drive, Black Rail Road, Plum Tree Road and Carrillo Way to develop traffic calming plans for each street as outlined in the program. These plans are designed to slow traffic down by regularly spacing speed cushions along the length of each street. These speed cushions are smaller than speed bumps and designed so that drivers can travel over them comfortably at 20-25 mph. The traffic calming plans for these streets have met the criteria for neighborhood support as outlined in the program. A location map of the four streets is provided as Exhibit 3.
The City Council’s approval is required to implement these plans under the program’s project approval process. The program states that, “a duly noticed public meeting will be held by the City Council to receive the recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission for Phase II implementation.”1
1 The Traffic Safety Commission was renamed the Traffic & Mobility Commission in 2019, and subsequently the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission in 2023.

Discussion
Program overview
The Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program, which the City Council adopted in 2001 and revised in 2011, is a three-phase program that offers solutions at increasing levels of cost and complexity, as shown in Exhibit 2.
Phase I: The initial phase of the program focuses on education, enforcement and engineering strategies:
• Police presence and police enforcement
• Engineering tools such as speed limit signs, warning signs, pavement legends and temporary speed feedback signs
Phase II: If Phase I tools do not address the concerns and the minimum critical speed of the street is found to be 32 mph or higher, staff will meet with residents to design a plan that will address community concerns. The critical speed of the roadway, which is also known as the “85th percentile speed,” is the speed at which 85% of the drivers are traveling at or below on a roadway segment. Motorists traveling significantly above the 85th percentile speed are considered to be exceeding the safe and reasonable speed for road and traffic conditions.
Traffic calming strategies can include such features as:
• Speed cushions
• Traffic circles
• Narrowing lanes through striping
• Curb extensions
Phase II uses a public input proc ess, including neighborhood meetings, to establish community consensus on a preferred traffic calming concept plan. A survey is mailed out to quantify community support for the preferred plan. If community support requirements are satisfied, the traffic calming plan is presented to the Traffic Safety & Mobility Commission for its input and recommendation and then to the City Council for project approval. Upon approval by the City Council, the approved traffic calming plan can be implemented.
Phase III: If the implemented Phase II solutions do not adequately address the reported issues, residents can request Phase III of the program, which considers further traffic calming strategies such as:
• Center island narrowing
• Raised intersections
• A lateral shift in lanes
• Realigned intersections
• Forced turn channelization
• Median barriers and traffic diverters
Because of the success of the Phase II measures, Phase III has not yet been requested or implemented on any street in the city since the traffic calming program was adopted in 2001.
Evaluating community concerns
Residents told city staff they were concerned about speeding on Park Drive, Black Rail Road, Plum Tree Road and Carrillo Way. In response to these concerns, staff initiated the traffic March 26, 2024

management program’s Phase I process by deploying temporary speed feedback signs on these streets, as shown in Exhibit 3. The temporary speed feedback signs are typically deployed for a two-week period and serve a dual-purpose: to collect speed data when the speed display is off and, when the display is on, to highlight to drivers how fast they are going.
Areas of concern
Exhibit 3 is a more detailed map of the locations.
The measured critical speeds for each of these streets are summarized in the table below. The critical speeds measured on Park Drive, Black Rail Road and Carrillo Way meet the minimum 32 mph threshold to be eligible for Phase II of the traffic management program.
Street Street limits Critical speed
Park Drive Monroe Street to Tamarack Avenue 32 mph
Black Rail Road Poinsettia Lane to the northern terminus 33 mph Plum Tree Road Hidden Valley Road to Aviara Parkway 29 mph Carrillo Way Rancho Brasado to Rancho Caballo 32 mph
The critical speed for Plum Tree Road was measured at 29 mph, which is below the 32-mph threshold to be eligible for Phase II of the program. However, Plum Tree Road residents strongly desired traffic calming measures to be considered for their street and asked for an exception to allow Plum Tree Road to be included into the program’s Phase II.
At its Oct. 3, 2022, meeting, the T raffic & Mobility Commission supported staff’s recommendation and approved Plum Tree Road as an exception into Phase II of the traffic management program, as shown in Exhibit 4.

Neighborhood meetings
Neighborhood meetings were conducted for each of these streets with residents w ithin each project area to discuss potential traffic calming strategies and to receive feedback from residents on the traffic calming concept plans that staff had developed for consideration., staff further refined the concept plans at each of the neighborhood meetings in collaboration with the meeting attendees. A summary of the neighborhood meetings as well as the preferred traffic calming improvements for each of the four streets are shown below:
Street Limits Meeting date Preferred traffic
calming improvements
Park Drive Monroe Street to
Tamarack Avenue Feb. 16, 2023 Two speed cushions
Black Rail Road Poinsettia Lane to the
northern terminus March 16, 2023 Three speed cushions
Plum Tree Road Hidden Valley Road to
Aviara Parkway March 23, 2023 Three speed cushions
and curb extensions
Carrillo Way Rancho Brasado to
Rancho Caballo March 30, 2023 Six speed cushions*
* The number of speed cushions on Carrillo Way have been reduced to four at the request of the Fire Department, as detailed below.
Mail survey
After a preferred traffic calming concept plan was identified for each of the four streets, letters
were sent to the residents and property owners that would have the proposed features directly in front of their homes. This provided residents and property owners another opportunity to express specific concerns and for staff to adjust the plan, if necessary. Based on the comments received, staff then finalized the preferred traffic calming plans for the four streets.
The Residential Traffic Management Program requires that most residents and property owners within the project area support the preferred plan, as determined by responses to a mailed survey. The survey is considered valid if 50% or more of the residents and non-resident owners return the completed survey. Positive support for the plan is indicated by 67% or more of the returned surveys in support of the preferred plan. The survey results for the four streets met the requirements outlined in the traffic management program, as shown in the following table:

Traffic & Mobility Commission recommendation
Staff presented the results of the traffic calming program process for Park Drive, Black Rail Road, Plum Tree Road and Carrillo Way to the Traffic & Mobility Commission on Aug. 7, 2023.
After hearing staff’s presentation and public comments, the Traffic & Mobility Commission voted 6/0/1, with Commissioner Garcia absent, in support of the traffic calming plans for all four streets, as shown in Exhibit 5.
Emergency vehicle considerations
Before proceeding with the project, city staff reviewed the latest designs with the city’s Fire Department. Speed cushions are designed with gaps, allowing fire engines to straddle the bump without significant slowing. However, because the Fire Department uses Carrillo Way as the main roadway to access the Rancho Carrillo community, the department requested reducing the total number of speed cushions on Carrillo Way from six to four, to minimize any potential delays in response time.
City staff supported the requested change because it provided the best balance between reducing speeding in the neighborhood and allowing emergency vehicles to pass through with minimal delay.
Fiscal Analysis
Sufficient funding is available in the Traffic Improvement Program, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6070, to complete the project. The available funds and estimated construction costs are shown in the following table:
Traffic Improvement Program
Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6070
Total appropriation to date $3,388,000
Total expenditures and encumbrances to date -$2,411,366 Total available balance $976,634
Traffic Calming for Park Drive, Black Rail Road, Plum Tree Road and Carrillo Way Capital Improvement Program Project No. 6070
Construction contract (engineer’s estimate) -$225,000
Construction contingency (estimated) -$33,750
Construction management, inspection and material testing (estimated) -$33,750 Total estimated construction costs -$292,500

Item #12 Page 5 of 85
Next Steps
Upon the City Council’s approval, the City Clerk will advertise a request for bids for the project.
Staff will review and evaluate the bids received and will identify the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Staff will then return to the City Council with a recommendation to award a construction contract to the identified lowest responsive and responsible bidder, which is expected to be in spring 2024. Construction is expected to begin by summer 2024 and be completed by fall 2024.
Environmental Evaluation
The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c), which covers the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public structures or facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use. The improvements to these streets involve negligible expansion of the current use.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In all areas of Carlsbad, daily commuter traffic or other types of traffic drive on neighborhood streets.
Speeding and/or excessive volumes may cause residents to become alarmed about safety and quality of life. When the tranquility and ambiance of the neighborhood is disrupted by drivers speeding or trying to find short-cuts, concerned citizens contact City officials.
This scenario, repeated each day in some areas of the City, alerted the City Council to the need for a comprehensive citywide program to minimize excessive speeds and high volumes in neighborhoods.
Similar problems in California and throughout the country have inspired engineering solutions called traffic calming, which is a method of slowing cars and discouraging cut-through traffic. With traffic calming in mind, the City Council elected to use a citizen-based approach to develop such a program, appointing a committee of seven citizens to work with staff in developing solutions for any Carlsbad neighborhoods seriously affected by traffic problems.
The citizen's committee developed a three-phase approach to addressing traffic problems in Carlsbad neighborhoods. After reviewing and evaluating programs from many cities, the committee recommended a program it suitable for Carlsbad and which would achieve the three goals that must be met if traffic calming is to be successful. The first requirement is support of the residents in any neighborhood where such calming is needed. Second, the traffic calming measures must meet with the approval of emergency agencies concerned about response times, as well as the needs of other utilities whose large vehicles could be adversely affected or damaged by the traffic calming measures. Finally, the residents must be willing to live with the actual traffic calming measures designed to slow traffic and cut-through traffic volumes in their neighborhood.
This document represents the first revision to the initial program developed by the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program Committee. The primary reasons for revising the program were to add lower cost traffic management tools such as residential stop signs and speed cushions and to establish benchmark criteria for the funding of future traffic calming projects. The revised program is divided into the following three phases:
Phase I: application of enforcement and education to resolve non-compliance issues.
Phase II: utilizing engineering-based measures to increase compliance with posted speed limits and discourage cut through traffic.
Phase III: development and implementation of a comprehensive plan comprised of traditional traffic calming measures to address traffic issues while enhancing the residential character of the street.
Ultimately leading to improvement in the quality of life of affected neighborhoods, the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program is still another way in which the City provides for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.

CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
1 CARLSBAD
RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
Virtually every day, on many residential streets, Carlsbad residents are faced with the potentially dangerous intrusion of speeding vehicles and/or cut-through traffic. Carlsbad streets have experienced escalating traffic impacts due to population and employment growth. As a result, an increasing number of citizens have expressed concerns to City officials, the Police Department and Engineering staff about these traffic problems.
Carlsbad residents are not unique in voicing such concerns. Cities throughout the United States have struggled with the issue of escalating traffic speeds and volumes on residential streets. As a result, citizens have asked that their neighborhood quality of life be improved through a reduction of vehicle speeds and volume. Many desire the simple pleasure of being able to walk or ride bicycles through their neighborhoods without fear of vehicular traffic, a key factor in neighborhood livability.
"Livable" cannot be precisely defined as it relates to community or neighborhood. However, the residents' expectation that fewer vehicles should be speeding down neighborhood streets is an indication of their desire to reside in a livable neighborhood. Characteristics of such a desirable neighborhood include:
a sense of community
a safe place to walk or bicycle
interaction among neighbors
a general feeling of security and safety
the opportunity for residents to enjoy their homes and property streets that do not penalize drivers traveling at the posted speed limit
"Traffic calming" is a term that has, in recent years, become synonymous with providing the means to slow vehicles, reduce cut-through traffic volumes and help achieve a livable community. Through the use of a variety of measures, physical or otherwise, traffic calming helps reduce the undesirable effects of the motor vehicle in residential neighborhoods.
In response to the concerns of Carlsbad residents, the City Council has established the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program, referred to as the CRTMP, to address neighborhood concerns about unwanted traffic. The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), an international organization of transportation professionals, has defined traffic calming as:
"The combination of mainly physical measures that reduces the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alters driver behavior and improves conditions for non-motorized street users."
Carlsbad's Residential Traffic Management Program is designed to have significant neighborhood involvement. Staff plans to work closely with residents to identify problems and their solutions and to gather the support necessary to ensure the success of any traffic calming plan that may merit adoption.
Communication with the residents at each step is critical and the urgency of plan development will not March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 14 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
2 be allowed to override the need for thorough understanding, commitment and approval by the neighborhood.
Since neighborhood involvement is the key, the program is designed to solicit and encourage residents' active participation in identifying concerns, developing reasonable solutions and supporting the final outcome. In the traffic engineering field, the manner in which this occurs is a process that contains the elements of the “4E's":
Education
Engineering
Enforcement
Enhancement
By utilizing the "4E" process, which incorporates a comprehensive, integrated involvement of concerned residents, the challenge of identifying and resolving problems can successfully take place.
The basic elements of the 4E process include:
Education: Providing resource materials and information to residents to inform them about all aspects of traffic calming.
Engineering: Physical measures and other techniques utilized in the traffic calming program that are based upon input and concurrence by residents, engineering principles, financial and environmental considerations.
Enforcement: Police presence and selective enforcement of vehicle code violations.
Enhancement: Using special treatments in the physical measures through design and/or landscaping features to improve livability, aesthetics, community pride.
This program has been established with and conforms to authority and responsibility given to local authorities by the California Vehicle Code to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. Additionally, it meets one of the goals in the Circulation Element of the General Plan that states Carlsbad is a "City with an integrated transportation network, serving local and regional needs, which accommodates a balance of different travel modes based upon safety, convenience, attractiveness, costs, environmental and social impacts".
It is the policy of the State of California that all persons have an equal right to use public streets and that no agency may restrict the use of streets to only certain individuals. With certain exceptions provided for in the California Vehicle Code, the specific authority to regulate travel upon streets can only occur in specific instances related to:
implementation of the Circulation Element of the General Plan criminal activity
regulating or prohibiting processions or assemblages
streets dividing school grounds to protect students attending such schools or school grounds

CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
3 Requests to implement the CRTMP will ultimately be considered through the process outlined in this program. Careful consideration will be given to each request to ensure that it meets State law and the criteria contained in the program.
GOALS
The City Council established the CRT MP as a countermeasure to intrusion by excessive traffic and/or higher than normal vehicle speeds in the neighborhood and thus, to help improve the quality of life.
With a defined traffic management process and established procedures contained in this document, Carlsbad residents will have the measures and techniques ("tools") at their disposal to avert many negative impacts associated with vehicular traffic on residential streets.
The goals of a traffic management program include:
improving the quality of life in the neighborhood
creating safe streets by reducing the collision frequency and severity reducing negative effects of motorized vehicles
design of features that encourage self-enforcement
PROGRAM STRATEGIES
The City of Carlsbad strives to achieve neighborhood livability through implementation of current standards and policies. Managing traffic is a key component in this endeavor and one that is vital for promoting characteristics of livable neighborhoods. Therefore, strategies are needed to identify and address issues revolving around speeding, excessive volumes and safety concerns on residential streets when it occurs. These strategies include:
developing recommendations that adhere to State law
satisfactorily addressing legal and liability issues
preserving reasonable emergency vehicle access and response time consistent with response standards
maintaining reasonable vehicular access
promoting neighborhood safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and residents encouraging and incorporating citizen participation in identifying traffic calming measures and techniques
utilizing City resources and funds efficiently and effectively utilizing a combination of education, engineering, enforcement and enhancement (4E's) maintaining, encouraging and enhancing pedestrian, bicycle, transit and alternative modes of travel
balancing on-street needs (such as parking) with the reasonable and safe function of the street considering achievable options for funding
According to the ITE resource, “Transportation and Land Development, 2 nd Edition”, residential streets should ideally be designed and constructed to a “residential neighborhood scale” to achieve vehicle speeds and traffic volumes consistent with typical neighborhood uses. Residential neighborhood scale is March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 16 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
4 typically accomplished by restricting roadway length so that a driver slows, stops, or makes a significant turning movement every 300-700 feet. Drivers tend to comply with speed limits in residential neighborhoods when the effective, uninterrupted street length is less than 700 feet.
Complaints related to excessive vehicle speeds often originate on residential streets that have not been designed to this residential neighborhood scale. The CRTMP attempts to resolve these types of speeding issues by installing a series of traffic management measures to reduce the effective street length so that a driver slows, stops, or makes a significant turning movement every 300 to 700 feet.
Traffic management measures are recommended to be spaced, on average, at approximately 500 foot intervals. The traffic management strategies included in the CRTMP toolbox are designed to work in concert with one another to limit the effective, uninterrupted length of an existing street to approximately 500 feet, which should result in a reduction in vehicle speeds and render the route less attractive to cut-through traffic.
PROCEDURES
The procedures to implement traffic management measures and techniques are described on the following pages and are referred to as phases. In general, the established procedures are consistent with the methodology currently used in Carlsbad to address any traffic-related concerns. The procedures require, and are designed to encourage, substantial neighborhood participation, following the process used by staff to formulate solutions to problem locations and the methods for proposing those solutions to the Traffic Safety Commission and City Council for final resolution.
Carlsbad's Residential Traffic Management Program has been developed as a three- ph ase program,
consisting of the following structure approach:
Phase I : Enforcement and Education
Phase II : Traffic Management
Phase III : Traffic Calming
The program is designed in such a way that residents of each street with identified problems, and with neighborhood support and commitment, can play a part in the program. The cost, complexity, effectiveness and impact to residents increase with each phase. Phase I features are generally considered simple improvements that can be initiated internally and provided by city staff. Phase II consists of cost-effective traffic management features that may reduce vehicle speeds but may also penalize those who drive at the legal speed limit. Phase III features are the most effective at traffic calming but are expensive and may negatively impact parking.

5 PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Participation in the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program requires the following:
1. The subject street must meet the legal definition of residence district (as defined by the California Vehicle Code) or designated school zone (as defined by the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices).
2. The subject street must have a curb-to-curb width of 40 feet or less.
3. A letter sent by a resident or residents requesting that staff consider a subject street for inclusion into the CRTMP process.
Any street that does not meet the program eligibility criteria but is nevertheless considered by city staff to be a candidate for traffic calming will be scheduled for review and possible approval by the Traffic Safety Commission. If the Commission's review leads to the conclusion that the street merits an exception, it will be processed through the CRTMP as if program eligibility criteria were met. Any street recommended by the Traffic Safety Commission as not qualifying for an exception may be requested by a citizen to be reviewed by the City Council for a final determination. The exception process may be used for consideration for inclusion into each phase of the program.

CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
6 PHASE I: EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT
When a resident, or group of residents, from a neighborhood has a traffic-related concern that they believe should be addressed by the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program and have sent a letter to the Traffic Division of the Transportation Department, the process will be initiated in the following manner.
Step 1 Initiate Traffic Request (TR) Procedure
Upon receipt of the correspondence and verification that the subject street satisfies program eligibility requirements, staff will initiate a Traffic Request (TR) that includes the information contained in the letter. The TR is an internal logging and tracking system in the Transportation Division used to initiate action and file correspondence. An engineer will be assigned to investigate and conduct an engineering study of the street(s).
Step 2 Investigation/Studies
Staff will gather preliminary data about the expressed concern. Field reviews and appropriate traffic studies will be conducted. They may include:
geometric conditions of the road volume counts
parking availability/restrictions pedestrian counts location of existing traffic control devices collision analysis speed surveys other studies as determined appropriate
Phase I strategy will be formulated after the data is collected.
Step 3 Coordination with the Police and Fire Departments
Staff will discuss with the Police Department solutions that can be addressed through enforcement. An enforcement strategy will be prepared and implemented by the officer in charge of the Traffic Division of the Police Department. Concurrently, staff will discuss with the Fire Marshal emergency response route issues and other fire safety issues.
Step 4 Issue Work Order
Implementation of Phase I can be accomplished by city forces. Staff can usually issue work orders for the installation of signs or striping or implementation of speed feedback signs.
Step 5 Communication with Residents
Information on appropriate traffic calming strategies and techniques proposed to address the identified concern is shared with the person or group that initiated the request, including information about the issuance of work orders. Staff also outlines the engineering and enforcement approach that will be utilized to mitigate neighborhood concerns.

If all applicable Phase I options have been completed and do not appear to adequately address the problem after being in place for an appropriate amount of time as determined by the city staff, Phase II of the CRTMP may be considered.
Step 1 Written Request
Phase II will be initiated when an affected resident that resides on the street where the concern exists sends a letter to the Traffic Division of the Transportation Department requesting Phase II consideration.
The letter will be generated by a resident, following discussions with city staff to review what might be accomplished through Phase II of the program.
Step 2 Phase II Eligibility Determination
Not all residential streets and/or residential areas will qualify to participate in Phase II of the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program based upon the established process. Eligibility criteria for Phase II are as follows:
1. Completion of Phase I of the CRTMP; and
2. The 85th percentile speed (critical speed) must be 32 miles per hour or greater as determined by a speed survey(s).
Both of the eligibility criteria must be met for a street to be considered for further processing through the CRTMP. However, on a case- by-case basis, city staff may determine exceptions. A street considered as an exception must be approved by the Traffic Safety Commission.
Step 3 Determine Project Area of Influence (PAOI)
The street or streets significantly impacted by neighborhood concerns or potential solutions, including all dwelling units or other land uses bordering the subject street or streets, comprise the Project Area of Influence (PAOI). The PAOI will be established by city staff, with input from the neighborhood representatives. The establishment of the PAOI by staff shall consider the implementation of measures on a roadway system as opposed to singular, isolated installations.
Step 4 Phase II Concept Plan
All residents from the PAOI will be invited to a neighborhood meeting hosted by the city. At the meeting, staff will explain the Phase II process that may lead to installation of the traffic management measures proposed for their neighborhoods. Discussion will include:
neighborhood concerns
traffic data gathered
results from Phase I
potential Phase II solutions
advantages/disadvantages of specific Phase II features
Phase II approval process
A Fire Department representative will be invited to attend the meeting to explain response needs of the emergency service providers and any concerns with potential traffic management on the candidate March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 21 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
9 street. Also, a Police Department representative will be invited to attend the meeting to respond to questions about enforcement issues.
Staff, using the data collected in Phase I, and working with affected residents, will draft a plan of proposed Phase II measures within the boundaries of the PAOI. Since Phase II measures are limited in application, they may not be appropriate for a given situation. For example, if a subject street does not feature intersections, residential STOP signs would not be appropriate. Staff will work with residents to prepare the Phase II concept plan which will be presented to the neighborhood via mail survey for support.
The concept plan will be presented to the Traffic Safety Coordinating Committee to allow city staff such as Fire Department and Police Department representatives to review and comment.
Step 5 Mail Support Survey for Phase II Concept Plan
A mail support survey will be conducted by City staff upon completion of the Phase II concept plan developed by staff. The purpose of the survey will be to determine if the neighborhood (as defined by the PAOI) is in favor of the proposed plan.
Residents and non-resident owners within the PAOI are eligible to participate in the mail support survey.
Distribution of the support survey will be conducted by the City through the mail. The survey will be considered valid if a minimum of 50% of the residents contacted fill out and return the completed survey. Staff will then analyze the returns to determine if 67% or more of the PAOI community responding supports the Phase II plan.
If the Phase II concept plan includes measures with vertical deflection such as speed cushions or speed tables, support for these measures from residents directly affected will be highly desirable. Staff will work with these residents and will strive to balance the concerns of individual residents with the overall success of the concept plan as a system of interdependent features. Since the success of Phase II will be dependent on the spacing of proposed features, the removal of any measure from the concept plan due to lack of support may have a detrimental effect on the concept as a whole.
If 50% of the surveys are not returned, an outreach program may be initiated by the resident(s). Re- survey will occur after all steps established in the outreach program are completed. A re-survey will be valid if 50% or more of the surveys are returned to staff. If the plan is not approved by 67% or more of the returned surveys, the resident(s) may request that staff develop an alternative plan or abandon their efforts. A revised Phase II plan will be tested by the support survey process in this step. If the revised plan fails to garner support of the residents in the PAOI after the second survey, no further surveys will be conducted by City staff for a minimum of one year.
Step 6 Final Approval by the City Council
The approved Phase II concept plan will be brought forward to the Traffic Safety Commission for recommendation and to hear public testimony on the matter. A duly noticed public meeting will be held by the City Council to receive the recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission for Phase II implementation. If Council decides that Phase II is acceptable as presented, it will so indicate by adopting an ordinance authorizing installation of residential STOP signs and/or other proposed measures and authorizing the appropriation of any necessary funds . The Council may consider other March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 22 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
10 options such as returning to the neighborhood for refinement of the Phase II concept plan or proceeding to Phase III of the CRTMP.
Step 7 Phase II Implementation
Implementation of Phase II, in most cases, will be performed by city forces via work orders issued by staff.
Step 8 Phase II Monitoring
Phase II measures that have been installed will be monitored for effectiveness during the first year following completion of the installation. Staff will analyze traffic data results, accident history, observed deficiencies and/or impacts of the Phase II measures, comments, and suggestions or complaints received.
If some residents of the neighborhood believe that the impacts and results of Phase II do not meet their expectations, they may request removal of the permanent measures. The request for removal must follow the Traffic Calming Measures Removal Process and be submitted at least one year from date of Phase II installation.

CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
11 PHASE III: TRAFFIC CALMING
If applicable Phase II options have been evaluated and do not appear to adequately address the problem as described previously, Phase III of the CRTMP may be considered. Phase I II of the CRTMP is designed to allow traditional traffic calming measures to be used in areas where Phase II options have not adequately resolved the traffic issues. Due to the potential fiscal impacts of Phase III and probable impacts to parkin
g capacity and limit access to properties, residents will be required to first utilize Phase II measures before requesting to proceed to Phase I II. Phase I II measures will be limited to locations where re-routed traffic will only impact higher classified roadways. Residents have the option to bypass Phase II only if funding is privately secured and all Phase III criteria are satisfied.
Step 1 Written Request
Phase I II will be initiated when the affected residents send a letter to the Traffic Division of the Transportation Department requesting Phase III consideration. The letter will be generated by the residents following discussions with city staff, study of Police Department results of Phase II, and anticipation of what might be accomplished through further utilization of the CRTMP process. The Phase III process will require an evaluation of a qualification criteria as well a neighborhood-initiated support petition.
Step 2 Project Scoring and Qualification Criteria
Candidate streets will be evaluated on the following factors and associated points for the purpose of establishing a project score for funding considerations . Streets with a score exceeding 50 points will be eligible for Phase III.
Criteria and points assigned are as follows:
1. Travel Speed (maximum 40 points):
6 points for each mile per hour the 85 th percentile speed is over 32 miles per hour.
2. Traffic Volumes (maximum 30 points):
Typical weekday ADT divided by 100 and rounded to the nearest whole number or the weekday peak hour volume divided by 10 and rounded to the nearest whole number.
3. Collision History (maximum 15 points):
Five points will be assigned for each correctable collision on a street, including intersections, within the past five years. A correctable collision is one that might have been prevented by the installation of a traffic control device or traffic calming measure.
4. Sidewalks (maximum 5 points):
5 points if no sidewalk or pedestrian pathway exists on either side of the street. 5 points if no sidewalk or pedestrian pathway exists along at least one side of the street.
5. School Proximity (5 points maximum):
5 points if school grounds abut the candidate street.
3 points if the PAOI is within 500 feet of school grounds. 1 point if the PAOI is located within 1,000 feet of school grounds.

Item #12 Page 26 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
14 Step 3 Neighborhood Support Petition
If the subject street meets the Phase III Qualification Criteria, concerned residents will need to establish resident support for continuation of the Phase I II process. The support petition is initiated by the neighborhood representative and serves as the mechanism to establish that residents’ support the City's consideration of a Phase I II traffic calming project. Documentation of support for consideration of a future project is indicated by a simple majority (50% plus one signature) of those eligible individuals located within the PAOI that sign the petition. The petition form will be developed by staff but it will be the responsibility of residents to circulate the petition and submit the results.
Step 4 Project Funding
Upon satisfaction of Steps 2 and 3 of the Phase I II process, the subject street may be considered for funding as a future project through the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. If more than one CRTMP project is submitted in a given fiscal cycle, priority will be established by the Phase II I Qualification Criteria scoring. Many different fiscal factors must be considered to establish if and to what level funds will be allocated for projects on the priority list. Staff will recommend a funding level and the City Council will consider and adopt the annual budget before the fiscal year ending on June 30.
As an alternative to the City funding the design and construction of Phase III improvements, residents may choose to collect funds themselves in any manner they choose, including the formation of an assessment district. This private funding must be for 100% of the project cost including design, construction, inspection, administration and contingency costs associated with the project. Private funds must be deposited with the city prior to proceeding to Step 4.
Phase III will not proceed until funding source is identified and funds are secured.
Step 5 Kick-off Meeting with the Neighborhood
All individuals from the PAOI will be invited to a neighborhood kick-off meeting hosted by the City. At the meeting, staff will ex
plain to those in attendance the Phase I II process that may lead to installation of the traffic calming measures proposed for their neighborhoods. Discussion will include:
neighborhood concerns
traffic data gathered
results from Phase I and II
potential solutions
traffic calming plan development process
before and after traffic study process
A Fire Department representative will attend the meeting to explain response needs of the emergency service providers and any concerns the Fire Department has with potential traffic calming on the candidate street. Also, a Police Department representative will attend the meeting to respond to questions about enforcement issues.
Step 6 Develop the Conceptual Neighborhood Traffic Calming Plan By meeting and working closely with the residents, staff will be able to assist in:
March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 27 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
15 assessing neighborhood needs
identifying alternatives
developing initial plans or solutions
finalizing the comprehensive plan based upon
o sound engineering principles
o neighborhood input
o state-of-the-art traffic calming practices
Throughout design development of the conceptual plan, all residents within the PAOI will be provided updates and will be encouraged to offer input. The residents will be actively involved in all aspects of developing the comprehensive neighborhood traffic calming plan and will be expected to commit the time and effort needed to develop a successful plan. Directly affected residents and property owners will be notified and involved with the development of the conceptual plan.
The length of time needed to develop the conceptual plan is dependent upon the complexity of the issues, the level of neighborhood involvement and support, project cost and the willingness of the residents to aggressively pursue plan development. The series of meetings leading to completion of a final conceptual plan for presentation to the neighborhood could take six months or longer.
Step 7 Mail Support Survey for Final Conceptual Plan
A mail support survey will be conducted by city staff upon completion of the conceptual plan developed by residents and staff and evidence of a generally favorable consensus on the plan by interested residents. The purpose of the survey will be to determine if the neighborhood (PAOI) is in favor of the proposed plan by a super majority (67% or more).
Residents and non-resident owners within the PAOI will be included in the survey, essentially following the eligibility procedures addressed in Phase II. If necessary, and as determined by city staff based upon the proposed conceptual traffic calming plan, additional properties may be included or excluded by expanding or reducing the boundaries of the PAOI. The revised PAOI will become the new PAOI for purposes of the survey and other communications with residents affected by the proposed traffic calming project.
Distribution of the support survey will be conducted by the City through the mail. The survey will be considered valid if a minimum of 50% of those contacted fill out and return the survey. Staff will then analyze the returns to determine if 67% or more of the PAOI community responding supports proceeding to the final plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E) stage and for the installation of temporary features. Staff will notify by mail all individuals within the PAOI of the survey results and the next steps in the process.
If 50% of the surveys are not returned, an outreach program must be developed by the residents with the assistance of staff. Re-survey will occur after all steps established in the outreach program are completed.
A re-survey will be valid if 50% or more of the surveys are returned to staff. If the plan is not approved by 67% or more of the returned surveys, the residents may choose to develop an alternative plan or abandon their efforts. A revised conceptual plan, after an appropriate outreach program, will be tested by the support survey process in this step. If a conceptual plan fails to garner support of the residents in March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 28 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
16 the PAOI after the second survey, no further surveys will be conducted by city staff for a minimum of one year.
If neighborhood support for the Phase III traffic calming concept plan is established, staff can proceed to Step 8.
Step 8 Environmental Review
Upon confirming the neighborhood support for the Phase I II concept plan and funds have been identified, allocated and approved, staff will initiate environmental review of the proposed project through the City of Carlsbad Planning Department. Generally, traffic calming improvements proposed within the existing street right-of-way are found to be exempt from detailed environmental review.
Step 9 Complete Final Design
Final design of the traffic calming plan can be started by staff concurrent with processing the environmental document. However, the final plan cannot be completed beyond the 30% stage until environmental certification is received and funding for the project is secured. Depending upon the complexity of the final plan, a consultant may be hired by the city. After completion of the final design, staff will initiate installation of temporary measures to simulate the effect of the proposed permanent traffic calming measures. The Police and Fire Departments will have considerable input during the final design.
Step 10 Final Approval by the City Council
The approved Phase III design plan will be brought forward to the Traffic Safety Commission for recommendation and to hear public testimony on the matter. A duly noticed public meeting will be held by the City Council to receive the recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission for the final traffic calming project and to hear public testimony on the matter. If Council decides the project is acceptable, it will so indicate by adopting a resolution authorizing advertising for construction bids, thus taking the first step toward installation of the project. If, on the other hand, the Council does not support the proposal, staff may be directed to abandon the plan, or to return to the neighborhood for refinement of the plan, or to take no further action.
Step 11 Project Construction
Construction of the approved project, in most cases, will be performed by a licensed contractor selected through the city's formal construction bidding process. After a contractor is selected by the city, individuals within the PAOI will be notified of the construction schedule.
Step 12 Project Monitoring
Traffic calming projects that have been constructed will be monitored for effectiveness during the first year following completion of the installation and also during the second year after the installation.
If residents of the neighborhood believe that the traffic calming measures, impacts and results do not meet their expectations, they may request removal of the permanent measures. The request for removal must follow the Traffic Calming Measures Removal Process and be submitted at least one year from date of Phase III installation.
March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 29 of 85
17 Traffic Calming Measures Removal Process (Phase II and III) Individuals within a neighborhood may determine that one or more traffic calming measures should be removed. If so, a petition favoring removal and signed by 80% of the eligible individuals within the PAOI or expanded PAOI, if applicable, must be sent to staff. Eligibility criteria for signing the petition will be the same as for previously indicated voting procedures (one signature per household or property). A sample petition is provided on the next page for use by the neighborhood contact person to collect signatures.
Staff will review the petition, determine if the 80% threshold is met and notify all residents and non- resident owners within the PAOI of the results. No removal petition will be accepted by staff during the test period when temporary measures are being reviewed.
If the petition has 80% or more valid signatures, it will be submitted to the Traffic Safety Commission for consideration. All individuals within the PAOI will be notified in writing of the meeting and will have the opportunity to address the Commission with their concerns. The Traffic Safety Commission recommendation, whether to deny or sustain the removal petition, will be forwarded to the City Council.
All residents and non-resident owners within the neighborhood PAOI will be notified by mail of the date when the City Council will consider their request for removal of the traffic calming measure(s). Each interested resident will have the opportunity to address the City Council. A final decision will be made by the City Council based upon staff input, Traffic Safety Commission recommendations and citizen comments. As appropriate, staff will initiate action on the City Council's decision. All residents and non- resident owners within the PAOI will be notified of the City Council decision by mail.

19 PROGRAM UPDATE PROCEDURES
It is intended that the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program be dynamic and subject to change. Traffic calming measures, techniques and/or methodologies continue to evolve. What was once in favor and popular to implement may have been subsequently found by agencies to be undesirable, unworkable or unacceptable to the neighborhood.
Revisions to the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program ( CRTMP) are expected. When revisions are suggested, a formal review and approval process of the revision(s) will be followed.
Steps in the revision/update process are as follows:
Step 1 Initiation of Revision
A change or revision may be initiated by the City Council, staff or a citizen. It is suggested that the requested revision be made in writing, with the reasons for or intent of the revision clearly stated. A compelling reason to initiate the update process or to change the process must be offered to be favorably received.
Step 2 Review by Staff
Suggested revisions will be thoroughly researched and reviewed by staff to determine if they are appropriate for inclusion in the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program. Other City departments will also be consulted and, as necessary, comments from stakeholders will be solicited.
Changes to traffic calming measures, procedures or methodologies will only be considered by the Traffic Safety Commission once a year, unless such measures, procedures or methodologies are determined to be illegal.
Step 3 Response to Initiator
Staff will respond in writing to the individual proposing the revisions, commenting on their suitability or requesting additional information as needed. Revisions deemed unacceptable by staff will not be processed further. Revisions recommended by staff for further consideration will be scheduled for discussion at a Traffic Safety Commission meeting. Only those suggested revisions that significantly enhance the overall Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program will be considered for acceptance and submitted to the Traffic Safety Commission.
Step 4 Review by the Traffic Safety Commission
All revisions proposed during any 12-month period will be reviewed by the Traffic Safety Commission at the end of such period. The recommendations of the TSC on all such proposed revisions will be forwarded to the City Council. The TSC review meetings will be duly noticed and open to the public for their input on revisions or changes.
March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 32 of 85
CARLSBAD RESIDENTIAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
20 Step 5 Review and Approval by the City Council
In a public meeting, the City Council will consider the recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission. Staff may be directed by the Council either to implement the revisions to the program and the supporting documents or to take no action on the requested revision. Noticing procedures for the Council meeting will be the same as for the Traffic Safety Commission meeting and all interested residents will be encouraged to attend the Council meeting to make their opinions known.
Proposed revisions will not interfere with or delay the processing of a neighborhood traffic calming program in progress. A neighborhood that has started development of its traffic calming program will continue the process without change.

21 Measures Not Recommended for Use
Several traffic management measures were evaluated and determined to be unsuitable for use in Carlsbad. Listed following are measures not recommended for installation on public streets and, therefore, not proposed for consideration as part of a neighborhood traffic calming project.
Rumble Strip
A rumble strip is an alteration to the paved street surface by various techniques to draw the driver's attention to a roadway condition. This measure is not acceptable in a residential neighborhood due to the noise and vibration created when a vehicle is driven over the rumble strip.
One-Way Street
A one-way street may encourage increased speeds and may result in additional traffic volumes on a nearby street due to diverted traffic. On a residential street, confusion and wrong-way travel may result as a one-way street is an atypical encounter for drivers when leaving a single-family residence.
Miscellaneous Non-Standard Devices
Signs and/or striping not recognized by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as an official traffic control device shall not be used in the public right- of-way. These signs typically include CHILDREN AT PLAY, SLOW and others. Non-official signs are of the novelty type, many have messages that are misinterpreted by drivers, have no legal meaning and their use can expose the City to tort liability. These types of signs do not command the attention or respect of drivers that are repeat users of the street. Using signs that are not officially approved may give a false sense of security to residents. Additionally, the signs raise expectations that some degree of protection is provided through their use when, in reality, this is not the case.
Cul-de-Sacs and Road Closures
Streets have been designed and constructed to facilitate multiple points of egress for the residents and multiple ways for an emergency vehicle to respond to an incident. Basic circulation patterns are intended to remain. Streets will not be truncated through the construction of a barrier to cause a road closure or by converting the end of the street into a cul-de-sac through construction of a turnaround.

TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLBOX
Traffic control devices are those official signs and striping placed in the public right- of-way and recognized by the public such as STOP signs, curve warning signs, centerline striping, etc. These devices have been officially approved by the State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) pursuant to legislative authority provide for in the California Vehicle Code.
Traffic calming measures, however, have evolved to include features that may not be officially approved through legislative action by the State of California. Commonly referred to as “tools”, the traffic calming measures or features available for use in Carlsbad are available in this program’s “toolbox”.
Each tool listed is unique and has a specific purpose for addressing residential street traffic concerns that require some form of traffic calming. Each tool has its own set of advantages and disadvantages and a range of costs. More than just a structural feature on a street, traffic calming tools also encompass education, enforcement, engineering and enhancement.
The following pages identify tools that have been endorsed and available for use in Carlsbad.
They were chosen for:
Appropriateness to address traffic concerns in Carlsbad.
Acceptability to stakeholders including the Fire and Police Departments.
Suitability for use in residential neighborhoods.
Each traffic calming measure is briefly described, application for usage listed, and possible advantages and disadvantages outlined. Estimated costs have been provided when the cost of the measure was able to be determined.

Item #12 Page 73 of 85
Commissioner Coelho asked staff to elaborate on what it means to be in the Carlsbad Residential Traffic Management Program. What is the path we are on if we know that we are not installing all-way stops? Associate Engineer Pham responded that the process is the following: during the neighborhood meetings, staff will present traffic calming strategies and other options that residents can consider such as speed cushions or a traffic circle. Staff will receive comments and then go back and finalize the conceptual plan and send out a survey to all the residents in the project area. The results of the survey will determine whether we move forward with the project or not.
Commissioner Proulx clarified that staff will go back and review other options for the area, and she inquired what is currently staff recommendation.
Associate Engineer Pham responded that staff is recommending that the commission grants approval of the exception into phase two of the Carlsbad Traffic Management Program. The critical speed is below the 32-mph threshold, so they are not currently eligible for any traffic calming measures.
Commissioner Fowler asked if speed cushions are the only option left.
Associate Engineer Pham said that speed cushions would be the most effective option in this area.
Vice-Chair Linke said that he supports the recommendation to approve the exception and added that speed cushions are self-enforcing, and this approach should be used on all of the residential streets that have speeding
issues.
Chair Perez inquired about what speed cushion is compared to a speed bump.
Associate Engineer Pham responded that speed bumps are often found in commercial parking areas as they are narrower and more abrupt. Speed cushions are more gradual. They are about 12 feet wide and span the length of the roadway bed.
Commissioner Coelho commented that this is an opportunity to look beyond Plum Tree Road to get the change that we want at Poinsettia Park to enhance the conditions. Maybe add alternate entrances to the park, or striping on Paseo Del Norte.
Commissioner Penseyres commented that when we use the critical speed of 32-mph this still means that 15 percent of the people are driving faster than that. If residents are asking for solutions, then we need to look way beyond the 32-mph threshold. Speeding is the most common cause of serious injuries and fatalities on these residential streets.
Commissioner Proulx inquired about the distance between the two stop signs on Plum Tree Roa d.
Associate Engineer Pham responded that there is an intersection between the two stop signs and we don’t have the distance noted in the presentation. Residents have complained that vehicles do not always stop at these stop signs. We will work with the residents to find a solution once they are accepted into the CRTMP.

5. PRESENTATION ABOUT COMPLETE STREETS IN CARLSBAD AND ACTIONS TAKEN SINCE THE AUG. 23, 2022, PROCLAMATION OF A LOCAL TRAFFIC SAFETY EMERGENCY - Receive a presentation about complete streets in Carlsbad and actions taken since the Aug. 23, 2022, proclamation of a local traffic safety emergency. (Staff Contact: Tom Frank, Public Works) Staff’s Recom
mendation: Receive a presentation
Transportation D
irector Frank presented the report and reviewed a PowerPoint presentation (on file in the Office of the City Clerk)
Chair Perez asked
staff to go over the process of what will happen at the meeting being held on Oct. 27, 2022.
Transportation D
irector Frank said that the meeting on Oct. 27, will be a commissioners meeting. There are 44 options on attachment A for consideration. We will be looking for your recommendations for City Council.
Chair Perez inqu
ired if they ask questions about the 44 options presented.
Transportation D
irector Frank says that yes, the commission can ask questions on the options.
Commissioner C
oelho asked how this will overlay with City Council’s meetings and their timeline? Transportation D
irector Frank responded that City Council directed staff to get the public input as well as the Planning Commission and the Traffic & Mobility Commission. On Nov. 8, 2022, staff will present the recommendations received from the Planning Commission, the Traffic & Mobility Commission and from the public to the City Council.
Commissioner C
oelho asked if the intent is to review all 44 items and provide a recommendation or to provide a recommendation on all 44 items?
Transportation D
irector Frank responded that it is to review the options and provide recommendations to the City Council.
Commissioner Pr
oulx asked about education, engineering and enforcement, the three E’s. Assuming that relates to the comments which show changing laws, controlling speed and more enforcement. It looks like change laws is not part of the three E’s. Did this come out of the community input? Transportation D
irector Frank said that was part of the communications input effort which was used to tailor the approach for the three E’s.
Commissioner Pro
ulx asked how staff will accommodate the change laws suggestion.
Transportation D
irector Frank said that will be covered under the enforcement efforts.

Item #12 Page 75 of 85
Commissioner Penseyres inquired about Assembly Bill 43 if it is already in effect.
Transportation Director Frank said that he does not have this information about Assembly Bill 43 which provides cities more flexibility to set their speed limits on their residential roadways. Cities would not have to comply with the 85-percentile rule. We are reviewing what a work plan would look like to review the speed limits throughout the city.
Commissioner Penseyres inquired if staff are monitoring driver behavior before and after to see how they are responding to the green paint?
Transportation Director Frank said that he does not believe staff have gone out to do an evaluation of traffic operations since we have put down the recent green markings. It is something that we will be looking at in the future.
Commissioner Penseyres said that one of the projects was to consider rumble strips. The rumble strips would be installed where there are buffered bike lanes. The rumble strips would be on the inner stripe of the buffer. Is that correct? How did you decide to make it the inner stripe versus the outer stripe?
Transportation Director Frank said this is correct and would be for higher speed roadways. It is something that could be considered and would be brought in front of the public for discussion. We would reach out to the bicycle clubs for input as well. The rumble strip would be inside of the outer bike lane stripe. It is the bike lane stripe on the inside closest to the vehicle. The intent is to notify the driver if they are weaving over the initial bike lane line. It also provides more room for the bicyclists to ride side by side if they choose to.
Vice-Chair Linke asked about whether the staff plans to present any aspect of this plan to City Council again before the meeting on Nov. 8, 2022.
Transportation Director Frank said that staff is required as part of the emergency proclamation to go back to City Council every 60 days. They will be going back to City Council on Oct . 18, 2022, and he is sure there
will be some mention of the actions taken as part of the Safer Streets Together Program. City Council has already acted on Option A which is moving forward. City Council will be considering options in addition to Option A on Nov. 8, 2022.
Vice-Chair Linke asked about one of the aspects of Option A which is vision zero commitment. Can staff present to us what that commitment actually entails at the next meeting. As an example, on the vision zero website it says the absolute core strategy focuses in on speeds. The goal is for all non-arterial streets to have a speed limit of 20-mph. On arterial streets the absolute limit should be 30 to 35-mph. It is a step too far to say that all arterial streets should have a speed limit of 30 to 35-mph. In the absence of making that the speed limit on arterial streets it is to have protected bike lanes with physical barriers and automated speed enforcement. What is the goal for our arterial streets as far as the speed limit, the installation of protected bike lanes and the installation of the automated speed enforcement?
Deputy City Manager Gomez responded that at the City Council meeting they discussed Vision Zero. The intent is for staff to return with a draft resolution supporting the Vision Zero concept and then City Council will task and direct staff to come back with an action plan on how we are going to move forward. It is in concept at this point and there won’t be any additional information by the Oct. 27, meeting. City Council March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 76 of 85
has indicated that they want staff to move forward with Vision Zero and staff will look at that and will be asking for assistance on developing the plan.
Vice-Chair Linke asked if the Traffic and Mobility Commission will have a chance to review the resolution on Oct. 27, special meeting before it goes before City Council.
Transportation Director Frank responded that there is no time schedule given for staff to return to address the Vision Zero resolution. The local agency gets to tailor their own Vision Zero program and therefore changing speed limits on Palomar Airport Road and El Camino Real down to 35-mph would be a serious consideration. He does not see the community getting behind that change. Staff will look at what makes sense for City of Carlsbad.
Deputy City Manager Gomez said that on the special meeting on Oct. 27, the Traffic and Mobility Commission will have the ability to weigh in on what they would like to see for the City of Carlsbad.
Commissioner Coelho asked if each segment of road will be evaluated individually for Vision Zero and hopes that we are not just going to blanket the entire city with one speed limit.
Commissioner Proulx said that she also viewed the website and understands that Vision Zero are strategies that we can implement within the city and not specific ideas that we have to implement. We can do what works within our community. Are we looking to hire a consultant to write this plan?
Vice-Chair Linke asked if Option C could be considered without the $44 Million school bussing program? In his opinion, speed cushions and access plans would be more effective than crosswalks.
Deputy City Manager Gomez said the questions should be deferred until the special meeting.
CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER COMMENTS:
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said last week he sent out an email outlining the process for the Commissioners to agendize an item. There are three opportunities for bike training this month. On Oct. 4, there is a Smart Cycling Class being held virtually from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
You can register through the San Diego County Bike Coalition.
On Oct
. 15, there is Smart City Cycling and that is in the city of Encinitas. This is an abbreviated course from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 pm.
On Oct. 18, there is a bicycle friendly driver course virtually from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm.
On Oct. 25, is the An nual Boards and Commissioners Event and he encourages everyone to attend to celebrate their hard work.
TRAFFIC AND MOBILITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Commissioner Penseyres said they had a Smart Cycling class for the City of Carlsbad Police Department this past week. The intent is for these police officers to go on and take a league certified seminar so they can become instructors and teach others.
Vice-Chair Linke brought up the public comment on Valley Street and Tamarack Avenue and inquired if staff has an update. There was a promise that staff would evaluate how it is working. Are there any March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 77 of 85
metrics that will be used to evaluate how well it is working? Transportation Director Frank said that staff has committed to a three-pha se approach to addressing traffic concerns at th
e intersection of Tamarack Avenue and Valley Street. You heard about Phase A which we are moving forward with. We have a public meeting scheduled for next week to assess the speeding between Skyline Drive and Adams Street. The second phase is addressing the traffic signal and intersection improvements that are nearly complete. What staff committed to was returning to the Traffic and Mobility Commission within six months of completion of those improvements. We will be analyzing what will be included in that study which will be both quantitative and qualitative. We will review what operations have taken place. The third phase is what we consider our transformative project on Tamarack Avenue and that is following our Sustainable Mobility Plan. That is not going to be worked on until the next fiscal year due to staff’s workload. There
will be plenty of public outreach opportunities. We have been addressing some construction related issues tied to the improvements and are working with our existing contractor and staff to alleviate some of these concerns.
Vice-Chair Linke brou
ght up the other public comment about speeding in Snug Harbor. Is there an update on this issue?
Transportation Director Frank said staff will follow-up on that.
Vice-Chair Linke inquired if there is an update on the Multi-Modal Level of Service since the last meeting of the Ad-Hoc Committee meeting on Aug. 3, 2022.
Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt replied that the consultant is updating the tool and performing
the field work analysis. Once completed they will have another ad-hoc committee meeting to present the results and consequently bring to the Traffic and Mobility Commission.
Commissioner Penseyres asked to see the results in advance to have time to look at what is being done and provide feedback. He said something good to come out of the City Council meeting last week is that they want to give the Traffic and Mobility Commission about a month to review all the documents. Do we know how soon before the meeting that we will have the information in front of us? Transportation Planning and Mobility Manager Schmidt said that he can commit to provide the ad-hoc Committee a sufficient amount of time to review the results.
Vice-Chair Linke wants to remind everyone about the Communication Plan. It says when City Staff plans to bring forward an item related to the Work Plan for action to the Planning Commission or the City Council, staff will seek an advisory recommendation from the Commission beforehand. He says the plan they were presented today falls u nder the Traffic and Mobility Commissions duties and we should be reviewing it and in contact with some of the City Council members. Staff then decided to bring it to the Traffic and Mobility Commission as an information only item but not for feedback. The City Council has since v oted t o h ave u s re view i t. He is fru strated as w hen h e firs t jo ined t he T raffic an d M obility Commission three years ago they were being b ypassed on the most significant i ssues. He feels we a re reverting b ack to th at a nd th at there are a l ot o f i ssues that we have been b ypassed o n.
Staff has gone directly to City Council with items that are on our Work Plan. We need to get back to the point where our Commission is reviewing these items.
March 26, 2024
Item #12 Page 78 of 85
Chair Perez commented on the pedestrian bridge between Cannon Road and El Camino Real that is operational, and it is beautiful. Lastly, schools are working on sustainability. For Hope Elementary, is there something we can do about idle parking? Is there something we can do to bring attention to this issue? Can we provide information on this or on greenhouse gas? Transportation Dir
ector Frank said that staff are working with Hope Elementary to develop their safe routes to school and access plan. Please let us know of any specific people you are talking with that we can reach out to about the idle parking.

In response to Commissioner Kohl's inquiry about lowering the speed limit further to 40 mph, City Traffic Engineer Kim explained that Assembly Bill 43 enacted changes in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that allows local agencies more flexibility in lowering speed limits. He further added that towards early next year staff should have recommendations regarding the possibility of lowering speed limits based on AB43.
In response to Commissioner Kohl's inquiry about performing another traffic study, if the 45- mph speed limit were implemented, to see if the 85th percentile drops below 40 mph, City Traffic Engineer Kim explained that engineering studies have shown that critical speeds do not typically vary over time unless the conditions of the road have changed or traffic volumes change. He further explained that if everything were to stay the same, there would be no reason to believe that the roadway speed would change.
